Updated Range Rover revealed

Land Rover has added a new Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic variant to its range-topping SUV line-up, which is priced from $316,000 before on-road costs.

It is powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that produces 405kW and 680Nm and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, while also being capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds.

New exterior touches include a choice of either 21- or 22-inch alloy wheels, Brembo brakes and red calipers along with side vents, bonnet finisher, grille, front bumper accents, tailgate finisher and Range Rover script all finished in Graphite Atlas.

Land Rover has also added new driver aids to its full Rangie line-up, including tow assist which uses the vehicle's surround view camera that helps the driver steer the trailer into position.

New off-road focused technology in the form of the low traction launch which is a manually selected driving mode that reduces wheelspin by limitng the amount of torque applied which helps drivers accelerate from a standstill on slippery surfaces, the system remains active until the vehicle reaches 30km/h. An all-terrain info centre also relays useful information of the vehicle's status through the touchscreen.
